Subject: Not always taper-friendly
There was a long period in the early Dead career when tapers were indeed discouraged. There are many tales of not only confiscation but actual destruction
...
of the tapers' equipment. One recording, available here on LlaMA, depicts the band members asking the light guy to put a spotlight on a taper, with comments of "yep, there it goes" "down periscope" "put it in a brown paper bag". I'm glad the band eventually allowed taping and applaud them for that, but it shouldn't blind us to the fact that that's not the way it always was.
On a side note, the whole thing of a band or venue acting as though it has a right to do anything with a taper's gear galls me. There need to be clear laws about what actions are and aren't appropriate toward someone who tapes without a band's permission. Otherwise you have a wild West situation, which invites violence somewhere down the line.

AcidQueen, I don't think there was anything but encouragement for taping. Tapers were welcomed all along from the get-go, throughout the Dead's history,
...
which is why there were and are so many tapes.
The taper section got created because of conflicts between the tapers and other folks about who got priority in where to sit, where to setup, etc. Some tapers would move into a sweeter-sounding area, leaving their ticketed seat and moving into someone else's. The someone else would complain, and word got to the band and and the band told Healy to sort it out and the taper section was created.
4 for performance and 2 for sound = 3

Not a bad recording,at all, when you consideer that 'tapers' at this time didn't have the band's 'okay'. There weren't any 'taper'sections, yet; and those
...
that 'dared to preserve the show' had to be very creative in 'stashing' their equipment coming into the venue as well as 'quick' on getting mic stands 'down' when the house lights came on. I remember well, the vision of seeing a dozen or so mic stands quickly decend all around the venue at the 'set' break and at the end of the show, too; and if you weren't paying attention and lagged in getting your stand(s) down, it wasn't long before you had visitors, who either conviscated your equipment or removed you from the show.(It was a definite 'buzz kill', too).
Anyway,even though this was an AUD recording, with lots and lots of crowd yelling and cheering, it's still nice because the 'tapers' back than were really 'taking a chance'. My hat's off to them! THANKS MUCH, GUYS!

Super mellow Help>Slip>Franklins. The sound quality is horrible, however. Somebody please post better quality of this show. It's worth it.
